Kannada in Kapil Sharma show!

 I am a big fan of Kapil Sharma show . I don't miss any episodes to watch  . For some reason  , show was halted for some time . But now it is back with new concept..

Yesterday's ( September 25,, 2021)  episode was hilarious. Virendra Sehwag and Mohd Kaif who are the famous cricketers of our Indian cricket team were the guests . 

Kapil usually interacts with the studio audience in the middle of the show  . In order to initiate the talks  , he gave the topic of trying to give the match commentary in native language of respective person . 

First person stood up and he tried to give the commentary in his native language Bengali . After his turn  , a girl stood up . Before trying,, she said she will talk in KANNADA   

 

She has prepared the background also . That is she is late for her work because of traffic of Bangalore. She has given the kannada commentary saying that Sehwag and Kaif are opponents in the play . 

It was a nice surprise for me to watch a girl speaking in Kannada on a national television . Even Kapil was impressed by her and gifted her a gift hamper of sponsors of show . 

ಉಡುಪಿ ಕನ್ನಡದ ವೈಶಿಷ್ಟ್ಯ

 ನಮ್ಮ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡವೇ ಆಡಳಿತ ಭಾಷೆ. ಆದರೆ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ಮಾತನಾಡುವ ಶೈಲಿ ಬೇರೆ .

ನಾನಿಲ್ಲಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತನಾಡುವಾಗ ನಾನು ಗಮನಿಸಿದ ತುಳು ಮಿಶ್ರಿತ ವಿಶಿಷ್ಠವಾದ ಕನ್ನಡ ಪದಗಳನ್ನು ಒಟ್ಟು ಮಾಡಿದ್ದೇನೆ .

೧. ಪಕ್ಕ - ಈ ಪದಕ್ಕೆ ಕನ್ನಡ ಮತ್ತು ತುಳುವಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಬೇರೆ ಬೇರೆ ಅರ್ಥಗಳಿವೆ . ಉಡುಪಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅದರ ಅರ್ಥ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಕಡೆ ಹಾಗೆ ಉಡುಪಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪಕ್ಕ ಎಂದರೆ ಬಾಜು ಅನ್ನುವ ಅರ್ಥವೇ ಇದೆ . ಆದರೂ ತುಳು ಮಿಶ್ರಿತ  ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಅದರ ಅರ್ಥ ಬೇರೆ . ಉಡುಪಿ ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಪಕ್ಕ ಎಂದರೆ ಬೇಗನೆ ಎಂದು ಅರ್ಥ .

ಉದಾಹರಣೆಗೆ ನಾನು ಈಗ ಹೋಗಿ ಪಕ್ಕ ಬರ್ತೇನೆ . 

ಇದು ಪಕ್ಕ.ಸರಿ ಆಗುದಿಲ್ಲ .

೨ . ನಾವು ಅವಸರ ಎಂಬ ಶಬ್ದಕ್ಕೆ ತುಳು ಮಿಶ್ರಿತ ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಮಸರ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳುತ್ತೇವೆ . ಉದಾಹರಣೆಗೆ ಎಂಥ ಅಮ ಸರ ಮಾರ್ರೆ ನಿಂಗೆ .

೩ . ಬಾಟಲ್ ತುಂಬಾ ನೀರು ಎನ್ನಲು ಬಾಟಲ್ ನಿಲಿಕ್ಕೆ ನೀರು ತುಂಬಿಸಿದ .

೪. ತುಳಸಿ ಗಿಡ ಎನ್ನಲು ತೊಳಸಿ ಗಿಡ .

ಇದು ನನ್ನ ತಾಯಿ ಆಗಾಗ ಹೇಳುವ ಮಾತು . 

ಬತ್ತೆರ್ ತಿಂದೆರ್ ಪೋಯೇರ್

ಇದರ ಅರ್ಥ ಏನೆಂದರೆ ಯಾವಾಗ ಒಬ್ಬ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ ಮುಖ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಹೆಂಗಸು ಮನೆಗೆ ಬಂದು ಯಾವುದೇ ಕೆಲಸದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡದೆ ತನ್ನ ಪಾಡಿಗೆ ತಾನು ಇದ್ದು ನಂತರ ಬೇರ್ಪಡುವುದು . 

ಈ ವಾಕ್ಯ ತುಳು ದ್ರಾವಿ ಡ ಭಾಷೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ಎಂದು ತೋರಿಸುತ್ತದೆ .

ಉಡುಪಿಯಲ್ಲಿ  ಕನ್ನಡ ಮತ್ತು ತುಳು ಭಾಷೆಗಳು ಒಂದರಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ಸೇರಿಕೊಂಡಿವೆ . ಇಂತಹುದೇ ಇನ್ನೂ ಬಹಳಷ್ಟು ಪದಗಳಿವೆ .

ಇದುವೇ ನಮ್ಮ ಕನ್ನಡ .

Greed that brought destruction

This story was told in Mahabharata .

Long ago , there lived a king . A daughter was his only child . He was worried that he is not having a son who can inherit his kingdom . To find a solution , he invited many great Vedic sages , served them and asked for their blessings .


Once Maharshi Narad was his guest . Pleased with king's prayers , Narad decided to grant him a boon . When asked , greedy king asked for a son who is smart , healthy and also his excreta like his tears , stools , sweat , urine , sputum and phlegm must be made of gold !!!


Like wise , a son was born to king . All excreta of prince's body was in gold . This resulted in high increase in the income of king . King was very happy .


Soon , the news spread everywhere . People thronged to palace to have the glimpse of Prince . Even the robbers learnt about this and they kidnapped the Prince . Soon their hideout also got filled with the golden excreta of Prince .



King had began searching for his son . Robbers realized that it is not safe to keep the Prince with them . They decided to kill the Prince and equally share the hidden gold of his dead body .



Eventually , they killed the Prince . But could not find anything from dead body . Thus , the greed of  king cost him his son's life .

Why do we chant " ganpati bappa moreya "?

 Wherever or whenever we worship God Ganesh , we usually say "ganpati bappa moreya " . Today I am writing about this.

Ganpati is another name of God Ganesh . 

Bappa means baap or father .

Moreya is the aberration of the word mourya .

Now who is this mourya ? 

Mourya was the devotee of God Ganesh . When mourya was a kid , his father gave him some laddus and asked him to offer them to God Ganesh of nearby temple .

Innocent Mourya had always thought that when we offer something , God himself comes and accept it .

Likewise , Mourya arranged the laddus infront of idol of God Ganesh and requested him to accept them . There was no response from God . Mourya thought maybe because of shyness , God is hesitating to come out .

So he hid in the corner silently and allowed God Ganesh to eat the laddus . Time passed but God Ganesh didn't come to eat the laddus . Now Mourya got anxious .

He thought God Ganesh is angry on him and that's why he is not coming to have laddus offered by him . Mourya asked for the apology with God Ganesh . He begged for forgiveness in his own different manners .

But all are not of any use . Finally Mourya threatened God Ganesh that if Ganesh don't come to eat laddus  , he will bang his head against the wall .

But still no response . Mourya started to bang his head against the wall . He didn't stop when blood started to ooze out of the head . At that time , there was a bright light from idol . God Ganesh himself has arrived by listening to the innocent prayer of his devotee .

Mourya was very happy by seeing God Ganesh . He offered laddus to God Ganesh . God Ganesh ate some laddus and asked Mourya to have laddus with him . Now it is time to return . God Ganesh and Mourya  both returned to their home .

Seeing Mourya returning , his worried parents hurriedly came near him . They saw some pieces of laddus around Mourya's mouth and also the plate of laddus is empty .

They thought Mourya has eaten all the laddus by himself without offering them to God . But Mourya said that God Ganesh himself has come and has eaten the laddus . 

But no one believed him . Everyone thought Mourya is lying . Mourya was firm about what is he saying . Everyone asked him to prove what he is saying . Mourya agreed .

All of them came to temple with Mourya holding the plate of laddus . Infront of everyone  , Mourya kept the plate tladdus in front of idol of God Ganesh , and started praying . 

But this time , God Ganesh didn't come to eat laddus . All the people accused Mourya of telling lies and demanded punishment for him . All of them dragged Mourya to nearby riverbed .

They tried to put Mourya under water . Soon Mourya sank in water . People were about leave .  That time they observed a bright light flashing under the water .

Soon God Ganesh came outside holding Mourya's hand . By seeing that , people cheered for God Ganesh and also for Mourya . From that day onwards , people started to chant " gsnpati bappa moriya " remembering innocent devotion of Mourya also .

How to differentiate?

 Long ago there were a duo of father and son . Son could not find any work to do after so many attempts .

Father starts to worry about the future of his son after his death. Soon his health got deteriorate and he was counting his last days . 

That time, he called his son near to him and gave two glowing and shining stones . Both of them are looking the same . One of them is a diamond and the other one is made by glass .

It is very difficult to differentiate between the two . So father explained the fact and advised him to go near King's with the challenge to differentiate the diamond and glass out of the 2 stones . If they fail to do so  then the opponent must give the value of diamond to son.

After his father's death, son went near the king of his country  . He presented the 2 stones before him . He explained the challenge to King . King agreed to the challenge and called a famous jeweller who is a expert in finding out the quality of diamonds . 

The jeweller came and he inspected both of the stones . But he could not differentiate between diamond and glass . He accepted his defeat . Many jewellers came but no one knew the answer  . 

Son was awarded the money as promised and he moved to the next kingdom . There also same thing got repeated and son had won the challenge .

Now son has got enough money to spend his life luxuriously . But he continued the same challenge and went to different kingdoms . One day he came to a kingdom where he could say that it is a poor kingdom .

He went to the court . The king was so poor that he was running his court on an open ground . Son put the 2 stones before him and challenged the king and his courtiers to differentiate between them ,diamond and glass respectively.

Soon one old man got up . Everyone were looking hopeful at old man . Old man held both the stones under the sunlight . After some time, he separated them as diamond and glass correctly.

Everyone was surprised . Old man explained , " When kept under the sun , a stone which is made of glass will gets heated up . But a diamond will not ".

Why does Krishna wear a peacock feather on his head ?

 God Sri Krishna is always shown wearing a peacock feather on his head . What is the reason behind this ?

The answer to this question lies in ,Ramayana . We know that God Vishnu took the form of Sri Ram . He had to go to forest as per the boon his father had given to his step mother .

When Sri Ram decided to go to forest  , his wife Sita and his brother Laxman accompanied him . One day they were passing through a dense forest .

That time , all were tired . Sita said she is feeling thirsty and wants to drink water . As it was the dense forest and surroundings were new to them  , they didn't know which way to go .

Sri Ram prayed to Goddess of forests to show them the way to nearby water source . Goddess heard the prayer and asked a peacock to help them by showing the way .

Peacock agreed and came near Sri Ram and said that it will guide them to reach the water source by flying ahead of them . All agreed . Peacock thought it will be ahead of them as it is flying and Sri Ram and his team may lose the way .

It came with a solution to the problem . It said it will go on dropping its feathers on the way it has flew . So that Sri Ram and his team can easily make sure the way to follow .

Likewise it went on dropping its feathers over the way . Sri Ram and his accomplices followed that mark and successfully reached the place of water source .

But feathers of peacock must be dropped by their own and not by plucking them . If feathers have come out by plucking them , then the respective peacock dies .

Here also same thing happened . Peacock was dying after reaching the water place . That time Sri Ram thanked the peacock for its help . . He promised the peacock that he will remember the sacrifice made by the peacock when helping them . 

Sri Ram said during his next incarnation , he will always wear the peacock feather on his head as the token of gratitude .

Likewise God Vishnu in his next avatara as Sri Krishna always seen wearing peacock feather on his head .
